We are concerned with Objective 3, which seeks to model sustainable communities on redundant employment land in the Regeneration Corridors. By the emerging Plans own admission, the Regeneration Corridors are now experiencing new in economic development. We therefore question the quantum of residential development that can actually be delivered on redundant employment land in the Regeneration Corridors. A comprehensive review should be undertaken of the role and allocation of the various Regeneration Corridors to properly establish what residential capacity they have. The Core Strategy should not be used as a mechanism for seeking to relocate existing and successful businesses that thrive within the identified Regeneration Corridors.
